Stocks-The market was much dull

generally recovered. There was very
little hammering Of stocks acd con-

the improvement was the buying by
the foreign houses. 0.her Influences
favorable to higher prices were the
decline in sterling exchange rates and
the vague lumors of renewal OF the
negotiations in the Bsltim ore and Ohio

firm, frat prices in July stocks being

are good, everybody satisfied, and
the country again well on the road
to prosperity. Yet a New York
paper publishes the statement that
three line advertisement in its
columns for a 5000 a year clerk;
brought 307 inquiries for the place
before 9 o'clock the morning of
publication; anotherfor young men
to direct envelopes at 81 per thous-
and brought $50 in a like time, and
two Others brought 1872 and 139
answers in response. Thus four
positions, the highest paying sal
airy of but 5000, had 8S8 applicants
within five hours after it was made
public that they were vacant. Yet
the country is prospecting.
